GraphOS _Cloud Dedicated_ is the Apollo offering that lets you run a cloud router on dedicated, pre-provisioned infrastructure that you control and scale. It gives you access to a fully managed and monitored fleet of GraphOS Routers.

The Cloud Dedicated approach lets you implement and scale your supergraph without managing any additional infrastructure. Tailored for teams handling production-grade workloads, Cloud Dedicated offers additional control over performance and security.

<Tip>

Go the [Cloud Dedicated quickstart](/graphos/routing/cloud/dedicated-quickstart) to get started.

## Runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Cloud Dedicated runs a fleet of GraphOS Routers in the AWS region of your choice. The following regions are currently available:

- us-east-1
- us-east-2
- us-west-2
- ap-southeast-1
- ap-southeast-2
- ap-northeast-1
- ca-central-1
- eu-central-1
- eu-west-1
- eu-west-2
- eu-north-1

Dedicated supports subgraphs running in any cloud region or provider. However, you may incur additional networking charges for subgraphs running outside your selected AWS region. AWS VPC Lattice is only supported for the regions listed above.

## Pricing

Cloud Dedicated pricing is based on the amount of _Graph Compute Units_ (GCUs) needed to run your graph. A GCU is a unit of throughput capacity. You can scale GCUs via [GraphOS Studio](https://studio.apollographql.com?referrer=docs-content) or the [GraphOS Platform API](/graphos/reference/platform-api/).

To learn about GCU performance and scaling, consult the [Throughput guide](/graphos/routing/cloud/throughput-guide).
